Failure analysis
TVFA has high-performance measurement technology at its disposal, including the capability of monitoring to precisely determine and observe the physical quantities of components, parts, etc. These measurements make it possible to simulate realistic loads in the laboratory as well as to optimize and check calculations.
Our many years of experience and practical expertise at the current state of technology enable us to successfully clarify causes of damage and, through appropriate measures, prevent consequential damage and repeated errors.
